Former Indian cricket great Ambati Rayudu has revealed his ideal Team India lineup ahead of the T20 World Cup in 2024. Surprisingly, Rayudu has pushed for the 38-year-old Dinesh Karthik to be the wicketkeeper-batsman, citing his outstanding finishing batting performances for RCB in the ongoing IPL 2024.

The absence of well-known players like Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Sanju Samson, Shreyas Iyer, Hardik Pandya, and Shubman Gill from Rayudu's 15-man roster has drawn attention. Rayudu has instead chosen to start Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal as the first pair of batsmen, with Virat Kohli coming in at number three. As Suryakumar Yadav locks down a middle-order berth, Rayudu's faith in his batting ability is demonstrated.

In addition, Rayudu has acknowledged Riyan Parag's outstanding IPL achievements, demonstrating faith in the youthful potential. With 318 runs amassed in 8 games so far, Parag's outstanding batting performances have demonstrated his capacity to be a reliable player and a major asset to the squad.

Rayudu's selections highlight form and performance in the run-up to the lucrative T20 World Cup, combining experience and up-and-coming talent.
